Moore Takes a Step Too Far

On Sep 24, 2009 3:00 AM

However gauche this may be, and however tired Moore's "i hate superhero comics" schtick may be, I actually think he's kinda right here.  Blackest night is derivative, and poorly written.  It's not provocative or interesting at all.  It's tired, it's old, it's crass. and it's transparent.  And if someone was doing that kind of thing with stories I created...

The iFanboy Letter Column - 07/31/2009

On Jul 31, 2009 4:00 PM

Hey Conor,   Do you consider checking a book or CD out of the public library stealing?  What abot borroing your friend's copy of ultimatum because you want to know what happens but can't justify paying for something that bad.  It seems to me that what's at stake here is at least in part an enclosure of the commons, the space in which objects circulate outside of commercial exc...

I feel like this show was never this good.   Yay for bringing back Micah.  Yay for killing off Daphne.  Yay for remembering that Matt Parkman has a wife and a baby.

Watchmen - "Inna Final Analysis"

On Mar 10, 2009 8:45 AM

I thought the film was absolutely terrible.  It adulterated the book's poltiics, lost its metacritique in favor of a shallow mawkish grim and gritty milleresque noir emptiness, and became the very thing the book sought to deconstruct and parody. The acting was generally ok.  Patrick Wilson was the only actor who I felt really got the character, but I place the blame on the directing...

When did everyone start taking Grant Morrison's comics so personally?

On Jan 22, 2009 9:00 AM

I'm a huge Grant Morrison fan.  I've enjoyed almost every Morrison project i've read, except for his run on X-men which i thought was too conservative.  I don't begrudge folks their opinions, and i think Paul is partially right, but i also think that part of what's going on is that the serial nature of the comic medium, combined with the fact that unlike, say LOST, fans have to buy e...
